Lighting question

[mag4734]

Im setting up a 45 gallon reef tank. I want to put a lot of lps and soft corals and a few hardier sps corals. Would nova extreme pro t5s 4x39 watts be suitable? Thanks, mag4734

Thanks and one more question, shud I get the pro which has 6x39 watts vs 4x39 and has2 fans vs 1 and dawn/dusk timers. The pro is a 100 dollars more......is it necessary for my needs?

I would get the Pro. The Pro has an individually contoured reflector where the Nova Extreme just has one big reflector. The contoured reflector will put more of the light that your bulbs are producing into the water. Especially if you want to do any SPS I think the Pro will suit your needs better.
